Calgary 2017: Chevy Colorado ZR2 headlines the show

The new Chevy Colorado ZR2, which was originally unveiled in Los Angeles a few months ago, is now making its Canadian debut at the 2017 Calgary International Auto and Truck Show taking place from March 15-19.

This high-performance, off-road-oriented trim level, featuring a 308-horsepower V6, will launch in the spring with a starting price of $44,215.

“ZR2 is truly a segment of one and does everything well. We’re thrilled to be able to offer it for more than $6,000 less than the next closest comparable truck.” said Doug Kenzie, brand manager, Chevrolet Trucks in Canada. “When purchasing a ZR2 at the starting price, our customers are getting all of the incredible off-road technologies that allow them to traverse everything from heavy two-track rails to high-speed desert running and full-on rock crawling.”

Other new models worth checking out at the Calgary International Auto and Truck Show this year include the Audi R8 V10 Spyder, Chevy Bolt, Ford F-150 and F-150 Raptor, Hyundai IONIQ, Jeep Compass, Kia Niro, Land Rover Discovery, Mazda CX-5, Toyota Camry, and Volkswagen Atlas.
